Tempting Offer
By Bob Kaku
During Silicon Valley’s “red hot” job market, I inter¬viewed with a few companies and landed a couple of job offers. The first offer came from a high-flying software company, a quintessential Silicon Valley success story, which offered me a good salary and attractive benefits with stock options. The hiring manager eased back in his chair and flashed a roguish grin. “You’ll become very rich in a few years.” The company’s stock soared to record highs, turning regular employees into multimillionaires overnight. Fortune Magazine ranked this company as one of the best to work for. The financial incen¬tives enchanted me.

I sleep better when I'm “sleepin' single in a double bed” (well actually a queen size)! I do less tossing and turning, and do more of the deep sleep known to allow for restorative sleep.

There is an old saying: “Garbage in, garbage out,” and another one that declares, “You are what you eat.” We know these are truths that apply to our physical bodies, in that we can’t eat donuts and ice cream all day and expect to be healthy.
